RIP Leon 1997-2005

[Zuni]

Leon was the beloved pet of family friends, who died recently of heart problems. Leon was a VERY friendly cat, always eager to make new pals. He would jump from person to person and work the room like a politician working a fundraiser. His father was so upset that he had a vet autopsy Leon because of his unexpected death, and found Leon had an undiagnosed heart condition. Leon, we will miss you.

1. I am so sorry. What a lovely cat!

One of those "tuxedo" cats. I was just talking to a lady, yesterday, who adopted a cat like this, who was, initially, terrified, but has settled in and become a lap cat. He's lovely and you and your friends have my sincere sympathies. I have lost three cats in my life, and losing each ripped my heart out. He's a beautiful boy, and I also had what they called "a necropsy" done on my beloved cocker spaniel, Barney. He was 18, but it was sudden, and I needed to know what happened. You have to understand. I still miss my Barney and my kitties, and I know what you and your friends are going through. Losing a pet can often be harder than losing a person, since they are always there. I'll be thinking of all of you.

He was young, too. Poor Daddy.

3. My condolences to your friends. Leon was much too young...and so handsome.

I can understand why your friend was so devastated...
Perhaps he can find some solace by rescuing a cat from being euthanized in Leon's memory

4. He is going to get a new cat from the SPCA soon

He is actually my parent's friend, but Leon was a friend to all of us.

7. So sorry about your loss

Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. And 8 years is no age for cats. Remember the good times you had with him. He will be waiting for you at another sphere :hug:
